Description
The 1066 Billiards Valour 042 is a 3/4 jointed ash snooker cue designed for players who prefer a lighter overall weight with a slightly rearward balance. At 17.8oz with a 17″ balance point, this cue has an easy, controlled feel in the hand, offering responsive movement without the stronger forward pull of a front-balanced cue.
At 58″ in length with a 9.5mm tip, the Valour 042 retains traditional reach while keeping its overall playing profile relatively light. The 30.1mm butt diameter provides a comfortable, substantial grip without feeling oversized, complementing the lighter weight and helping the cue remain settled through a smooth, measured delivery.
Cue Features
Constructed from selected ash, the Valour 042 delivers dependable feedback and a predictable response across all shot types. Its unique 8-splice butt design gives this individual cue its own appearance while maintaining the traditional character of the Valour range. The 3/4 jointed construction provides a strong, connected feel through the stroke while remaining practical for transport. A fitted butt-end thread allows compatibility with all 1066 Billiards extensions (sold separately).

Why Choose the Valour 042?
The Valour 042 is a good fit for players who want the reach of a 58″ cue while preferring something lighter than the more traditional 18oz-plus options. Its 17.8oz weight keeps the cue responsive, while the 17″ balance point positions the feel closer to the cueing hand for a controlled and comfortable stroke.
The 30.1mm butt adds a little substance to the grip, providing an interesting contrast to the cue’s lighter overall weight. Combined with its unique 8-splice design, the Valour 042 offers a well-proportioned option for players seeking traditional length with a lighter, slightly rear-balanced playing profile.
